Lighting Descision

DemoDick · #1 10/15/2003, 11:21 AM

I'm buying a new light for my 29 gal. tank and would like to know what some of you think. I am decide on two models, custom sealife and the coralife aqualite. There are two differences, customsealife has moon lights and the aqua does not, also it's a matter of price. My lfs has them, but I have found them on line for alot less money. The Custom Sealife is $221.00 Compared to $175.00 online and the Aqualite is $180.00 compared to $121.00 online. My tank consists of $40# of live sand, 75# of live rock 2perculia, 2 tomatos, 1 bangii card., cleaning crew, spotted tiger gobie,manderine gobie adn a cleaner shrimp.

Your thought would be great!!!

OFF TOPIC-
Be careful with that mandarin; it's really hard to keep that in a 29/g tank.

later,

what bulbs/lamps are in the two setups? That will help determine what you will be able to keep in the tank.

As well;

you may want to look into moving two of those four clowns out of your tank. In time one female will become very dominant and terrorize the other pair.

Well the moonlights are cool. Are they $47 cool? Up to you. Sounds like the same setup pretty much.

Thanks for your help. It's the moon light I'm having a problem deciding about!
